"I'M JUST AN ORDINARY FELLOW WHO GETS ALL BOLLIXED UP WITH THE SUPERNATURAL WEEK AFTERWEEK, AND I LOVE IT! HOW MANY HAVE SEEN 'MOTHER EARTH' UNDER THE COOPER MINES AT BUTTE,MONTANA, AND HOW MANY HAVE BEEN AT CALAIS TO WATCH ROBIN HOOD, FRIAR TUCK, LITTLE JOHN,WILL SCARLET AND ALL THE REST SHOOT ARROWS INTO GERMAN TANKS TO BLOW THEM UP? FOR THATMATTER, HAS ANY CHARACTER LOOKED AT HIS REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR AND ORDERED IT TO DO HIS BIDDING AND GRANT HIS EVERY WISH? I DOUBT IT. AND COOPER, WHO FOR MY MONEY IS AHEAD OFHIS TIME IN INTELLIGENT, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN ADULT RADIO STORIES. COOPER FIGURES THE PLAYSAND I CARRY THE BALL." HE IS REFERRING TO "RETREAT AT DUNKERQUE" WHICH AIRED ON SEPT. 3, 1947ABOUT ROBIN HOOD AND HIS MERRY MEN. THIS WAS THE ONLY SHOW BROADCASTED LOCALLY ON WOR.IT IS STILL MISSING. NO SCRIPT HAS EVER BEEN FOUND.

Not sure how it acquired the title "Retreat at Dunkerque." According to the script, it was scheduled to air over the Mutual network on August 31 and over New York's WOR on September 1. Perhaps it was retitled for the rebroadcast.
